§ 62. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Defence when it was arranged that British troops should train South Vietnamese officer cadets in Malaysia; and what is the reason for this.
§ Mr. HealeyVietnamese military personnel have been given training in jungle warfare and jungle survival since 1961.
